Title: Method and apparatus for helical cutting of a flexible tubular sheet of polymeric material
IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 1989-06-26
Granted: 1993-07-22
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB89/00712 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 11, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 11, 1991 PCT Filed Jun. 26, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO89/12533 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 28, 1989.Flexible tubular film is helically cut into a flat strip by feeding the tubular film in flattened form from a supply source to a film feeding means advancing the flat film tube at a predetermined velocity to a tube expansion zone in which the flat tube is expanded into a generally cylindrical tube and passed axially over a hollow mandrel slightly less in external diameter than the diameter of the expanded tube to be cut helically while on the mandrel into a flat strop that is removed at an angle to the mandrel axis. The tube is expanded in the zone by inflation with air fed through the mandrel in a direction countercurrent to the direction of tube movement and under a pressure sufficient to render the expanded tube stiff as it slides over the mandrel and resistant to deformation while being helically cut. The advance and expansion of the flat tube in the expansion zone is positively controlled by moving surfaces contacting the film, which surfaces define a diverging expansion zone and are driven at a velocity substantially at least as great as the predetermined velocity of advance of the flat film tube to the expansion zone.

Title: A self-sealing bag valve
Inventor: TOTTEN KEVIN J
IPC: B67D1/07
Filed: 1995-11-13
Granted: 1998-03-05
Abstract: A self-sealing bag valve for use with a quick-disconnect coupling in a bag-in-box (BIB) syrup dispensing assembly for a post-mix beverage dispenser includes a plastic spring assembly for normally biasing a poppet of a self-sealing valve into sealing engagement with a valve seat thereof. The spring assembly includes a petaloid-shaped disc having evenly spaced petaloid segments defining flow passages therebetween, a retaining ring for securing peripheral portions of the petaloid-shaped disc in fixed positions in the bore of the self-sealing valve and a petaloid stem protruding from the disc into engagement with the valve poppet. The petaloid-shaped disc includes a first frusto-conical portion extending from the retaining ring to a circular termination line concentric with the ring and a second frusto-conical portion extending from the circular termination line to the petaloid stem. The first and second frusto-conical portions, when in an installed, normal biasing position (the closed position of the self-sealing valve), have opposite slopes with respect to an axis orthogonal to the petaloid disc providing a bend about the circular termination lines forming knees in each petaloid segment for accommodating flexing of the elements about the knees. A groove is provided in the central bore of the valve housing for accommodating a snap-fit of the retaining ring therein.

Title: Interferon inducing genetically engineered attenuated viruses
Inventor: EGOROV ANDREJ
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 1999-06-11
Granted: 2002-06-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to genetically engineered attenuated viruses and methods for their production. In particular, the present invention relates to engineering live attenuated viruses which contain a modified NS gene segment. Recombinant DNA techniques can be utilized to engineer site specific mutations into one or more noncoding regions of the viral genome which result in the down-regulation of one or more viral genes. Alternatively, recombinant DNA techniques can be used to engineer a mutation, including but not limited to an insertion, deletion, or substitution of an amino acid residue(s) or an epitope(s) into a coding region of the viral genome so that altered or chimeric viral proteins are expressed by the engineered virus.

Title: Microarray-based subtractive hybridization
Inventor: PERRIN STEVEN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-05-19
Granted: 2005-02-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly efficient, high-throughput method for the identification and elimination of redundancy in a population of nucleic acid molecules using microarrays. This method involves a reiterative subtraction protocol that creates a library that becomes more biased toward unknown genes with each successive round. The removal of repetitive and previously characterized nucleic acids from the library allows the identification of low-abundance mRNA from sources of interest and enhances the rate of novel gene discovery. The present invention is also useful for the removal of contaminating nucleic acids from cloning libraries.

Title: Refining metal bath containing cooling materials
Inventor: SCHLEIMER FRANCOIS
IPC: C21C5/32
Filed: 1980-04-29
Granted: 1984-02-16
Abstract: A process for refining a metal bath in a converter by oxygen blowing, particularly a molten metal liquid bath containing cold, solid substances, notably of scrap. Oxygen is distributed over the surface of the bath, so that there will be an after-combustion of CO released in the course of decarbonization. The thickness and consistency of a slag layer formed over the bath is actively regulated by injecting a rising inert gas through the bottom of the bath. The flow of rising gas may be regulated depending upon the oxygen content in the fumes of the converter, or upon the intensity of emission through the top of an oxygen blowing lance.

Title: A method and an apparatus for use in production tests, testing an expected permeable formation
Inventor: WOIE RUNE
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 1998-04-06
Granted: 2000-11-02
Abstract: When production testing a permeable first formation, fluid flowing out from the first formation is subjected to a pressure measurement and a flow rate control. In order to avoid bringing up the fluid flowing out during the production test to a surface position, where the fluid's inherent explosion and fire risk as well as poisonousness could cause substantial problems, a fluid flow path is arranged for fluid transfer only between the first and second formations. The fluid flow path which, in a suitable apparatus, is constituted by a channel-forming pipe. From this channel, the second permeable formation receives the fluid and keeps it for some time. In the position of use, the apparatus is assigned sealing devices such as annulus packers, which are placed such that fluid flow between the formations is limited to only follow the fluid flow path.

Abstract: A pin (10) is provided for repairing cracks (C) in a material (M) such as iron casting materials. The pin includes threads (60) with both upper and lower surfaces wich angle toward a head of the pin. A tapping bit (550) is utilized in a hole (H) of similar diameter to the pin, positioned with half of the hole on each side of a crack, the bit creating threads in the hole which are substantially complemental to the threads of the pin. The pin includes a shoulder (40) which has a greater diameter than a diameter of the hole. When the pin is threaded into the hole, the shoulder abuts against a surface (S) of the cracked material causing the pin to cease translation into the material. Upon further rotation of the pin, the upwardly angled threads draw opposite sides of the crack towards each other.
